Following a mammoth year of the label receiving global recognition for its steady upward trajectory, Kid Fonque further commits to his role in discovering and spreading creations of a new generation. Having two consecutive years of being awarded DJ Mag Best Compilation of the Year in 2021 and 2022 for Vol.3 and Vol.4, Stay True Sounds are pleased to present Vol.5 (Release Date: March 24th, 2023) full of new, exciting musical energy, this time released in association with Defected Records.

Kicking off this elaborative musical experience, newcomer MusiQuality smoothly lures listeners into an authentic journey of the South Africa sound. With ‘Untitled’, he allows the deep baselines wrapped with a soulful pad to speak for itself. In the spirit of newcomers, Vol. 5 also welcomes Khullie, BaxSphere and Boet Quality who showcase the ever-growing richness in new talent birthed in the heart of South Africa.

Stay True Sounds favourite producers make a wholesome return in providing tracks to solidify the outstanding quality of sounds throughout. Ed-Ward not only blesses us with an original song, the authenticity of his atmospheric deep House production is also displayed on his remix of ‘Nothing’ by TebzaLiquid featuring Cash Boy. With the heartfelt piano chords and electronic arpeggios of Buddynice’s ‘My Mothers Wish’, this strong package is rounded off in a way that will lead listeners eagerly awaiting the next volume.
